Make It

Cook the cavatappi to about 1 minute less than the package directions. While the Cavatappi is cooking: shred the blocks of cheddar cheese. Cut Velveeta into small cubes.

Drain the cooked cavatappi, do not rinse and return the cavatappi to pot. Add butter, milk, and most of the shredded cheddar cheese to hot cavatappi. The rest of the cheese will go on top later. Mix until butter and cheddar cheese melts. The mixture will be soupy. Add the Velveeta cubes. Stir to mix, do not let the Velveeta cubes melt completely. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour into baking dish. Cover the top with the remaining Cheddar Cheese.

Bake at 350°F for 35 minutes. The top will brown slightly.

Notes

You can buy shredded cheddar cheese already but I like it better when I shred the cheese myself.
You can also use macaroni instead of the cavatappi if you prefer.
